Kathleen Parker again. Considering her usual writing, this is amazing. Like she didn't get the memo or something.

The nerve of her, attacking the sincere religious beliefs of Xian Fundamentalist Republicans!

Republicans don’t get a pass. Heaven forbid they should call out someone who wants to inject biblical end-times into political debate. Obama the jester didn’t hesitate. Poking fun at Michele Bachmann’s recent remark that he would bring about the end of days, Obama quipped: “Now that’s a legacy!”

With a joke, Obama exposed the absurdity of such thinking. But the joke would have been far funnier and provided a greater sense of relief had a Republican said it.

Alas, this will never happen — and not because Bachmann is no longer in office. She still speaks to and for a large swath of Republican voters, which means that the GOP is doomed to pretend that 2,000-year-old prophesies are perfectly relevant to today’s geopolitical debate.
